Questions about NPCs

I have few questions about editing NPCs...

 

1) Are factions statically assigned or can a script add actors to factions? Since you can change factions with the console, I assume the latter.

 

2) Can a person's voice type be changed in-game, say, again, with a script? Since I've never heard of it happening, I assume not.

 

3) I've unchecked "no combat in water" on all humanoid races and it seems to make no difference; you still can't fight while swimming. Any ideas why? Swimming animations overriding drawing weapons maybe? (That's a shot in the dark; I have no idea how animations work. I just know if it's not anything in the CK I can't fix it.) I'm pretty sure that it didn't have any effect on NPCs either, but I admit I'm not entirely certain.

 

4) Maybe Falmer "playable" and using player.setrace results in you being translucent and the camera in the ground. I assume it's from the different skeleton (Janus mentioned to someone else a "camera bone" and I assume Falmer don't have it.) So, would changing Falmer to use the normal skeleton break all of their animations? I'm likely going to try it anyway just to see what happens, but I'd like to know what I'm about to do - I'm pretty sure I'm about to see a lot of crucified Falmer floating around, but it would be nice if the animations still worked, just looked weird. Nicer still if they didn't look weird. (Although I still don't know what's with the translucency.)

 

5) The "blindness" effect doesn't actually seem to affect the player in any way (this was what I was making myself a Falmer to test out), so I'm curious where the Nighteye effects are so that I can make my own blindness.

 

6) Is there a way to make all NPCs inherit racial abilities and powers besides adding them manually?

 

Edit: 7) I would appreciate it if someone could point me at a tutorial for making FaceGen parts for a race that you don't want to use the normal human face pieces, since I assume that's what causes a crash when trying to select Falmer in character creation.

 

I appreciate any answers. Sorry to be so needy.
